The blockchain comprises a transaction block and a first sentinel block, the first sentinel block comprising a first previous hash field having an identical hash value as the first transaction hash field of the first transaction block, a first sentinel marker field for identifying the first sentinel block in the private blockchain, a first transaction data field containing a portion of the transactional information in the first transaction data field of the first transactional block, a first payload hash field comprising a hash value of the transaction data field of the sentinel block, and a first transactional hash field containing a first hash value of the first previous hash field and the first payload hash field; and appending the sentinel block to the transaction block. | 2020-10-08 |
20200320491 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR POPULATING A DATABASE WITH A SET OF INFORMATION RELATED TO AN ITEM OWNED BY A FIRST OWNER THAT IS TRANSFERRED TO A SECOND OWNER - A method of populating a database with identifying information related to ownership transfer of a first item, includes using a processor of a computing system to associate an interactive item card with the first item, populate the interactive item card with information identifying unique authentication indicia of the first item and a first owner of the first item, and store the populated interactive item card information in the database, presenting a subset of the information from the interactive item card to at least one potential second owner and enabling the at least one potential second owner to request a transfer of ownership of the first item, responsive to the request for a transfer of ownership of the first item, using the processor of the computing system to verify an authenticity of the first item, transmitting a result of the verification to the potential second owner, wherein an ownership transfer is approved or disapproved by the potential second owner based on the result and, if the ownership transfer is approved, designating, with the processor of the computing system, the approving potential second owner as a second owner, updating, with the processor of the computing system, the interactive item card with information identifying the second owner, populating, with the processor of the computing system, the database with the updated information of the interactive item card, and recording an indication of the updated information of the interactive item card in a block chain. | 2020-10-08 |
20200320492 | BILATERAL PAYMENT AND FUNDING OPTIMIZATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for optimizing funding and bilateral payments in settlement systems. Using the methods taught herein, a settlement agent may request significantly less funding from member institutions on a daily basis to accomplish the same payment tasks currently being performed. The settlement agent determines the bilateral net amount between each pair of participants, calculates the aggregate net amount for each participant, and then requests an amount of funding based on these calculations. Using the requested funding, the settlement agent then calculates and instructs a single concentration bank to perform a series of transactions that, when performed in order, provide a complete set of bilateral transactions between each institution to settle accounts. | 2020-10-08 |
20200320493 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT - A method for managing accounts using an account management system comprising an allocation management circuit and a transaction management circuit. The method includes identifying, by the allocation management circuit, funds to be allocated; determining, by the allocation management circuit, an allocation for the funds amongst a plurality of allocation options comprising (i) a pending account for a payee, and (ii) a projected account, based on a priority for the pending account for the payee and a priority for the projected account; and implementing, by the transaction management circuit, the allocation for the funds | 2020-10-08 |
20200320494 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR FACILITATING ACCESS OF INTERCHANGE PARAMETERS TO A PLURALITY OF DIGITAL APPLICATIONS - Systems and methods for facilitating access of interchange parameter data files through a centralized microservice system that integrates a plurality of interchange network systems with a plurality of payment processing applications. The microservice system comprises a plurality of microservices and a plurality of payment processing application modules hosting the plurality of payment processing applications. The microservice system accesses interchange related information sourced from the plurality of interchange network systems and stores the interchange related information in the plurality of microservices. A plurality of financial entities gets registered with the microservice system for availing services associated with the plurality of payment processing applications. The plurality of payment processing application sends a request to the microservice system to access the interchange related information required for processing of the payment transactions requested by the financial entities. The microservice system provides access of the interchange related information in response to receipt of the request. | 2020-10-08 |
20200320495 | Web-Based System and Method for Incorporating Georeferenced Imagery Into CAD Environment - In one embodiment, a method for providing access to georeferenced imagery includes receiving, by a service provider, a request for georeferenced imagery sent by a georeferenced imagery module communicating with a design application executing on a computer, receiving, by the service provider, user identification information, using the identification information to determine whether the user is entitled to the requested georeferenced imagery, if the user is determined to be entitled to the requested georeferenced imagery, providing, to the design application, access to georeferenced imagery, and debiting user credits from an account associated with the user in proportion to the amount of access provided to the design application. | 2020-10-08 |
20200320496 | POINT OF SALE OPTICAL-BASED DEVICE ASSOCIATION AND CONFIGURATION - Techniques for configuring a point of sale (POS) system may include using an optical sensing module to read an identifier associated with a POS component and associating the POS component with a zone that is monitored by the optical sensing module, where the zone includes the POS system. In response to optically sensing the identifier, the system may automatically configure the component to function within the POS system. | 2020-10-08 |
20200320497 | MESSAGING TRANSACTION APPLICATION - Embodiments of the present disclosure are related to electronic commerce within instant messaging. A system may include a commerce server and an instant messaging server. The instant messaging server is configured to support an instant messaging service with an instant messaging client. The instant messaging server may include an application for supporting further communication in the instant messaging service between the instant messaging client and the commerce server. The method includes first instant messaging a query to an instant messaging client and receiving a response to the query at an application at an instant messaging server. The method further includes second instant messaging query results to the instant messaging client with the query results determined at a commerce server and based on the response. | 2020-10-08 |
20200320498 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROGRAMMATICALLY CONSUMER DEVICES INTO STABLE SPATIAL CLUSTERS - Systems, apparatus, methods, and non-transitory media for programmatically grouping consumer devices into stable spatial clusters are discussed herein. Some embodiments may include a point-of-sale system including a first consumer device of a stable spatial cluster of consumer devices to serve as a communication beacon. The first consumer device, that serves as the communication beacon, is configured to transmit and receive signals between a server and the other consumer devices of the stable spatial cluster of consumer devices. The other consumer devices receive a beacon identifier from the first consumer device and are thereby associated with a point-of-sale order to facilitate suitable point-of-sale functionality that may be provided via the first consumer device. | 2020-10-08 |
